Hello everyone! Mods here 😊
Tell us, what services do you selfhost? Extra points for selfhosted hardware infrastructure.
Feel free to take it as a chance to present yourself to the community!

Hey all, I’ve been slowly building services on my server over many many years, starting with running a minecraft ftb server, to where I am now, which is 1 primary system(providing the network filesystem) and 2 auxiliary minipc systems my brother in law recently donated. I moved from Docker to Docker Swarm after getting those MiniPC’s and enjoying the added compute. Currently my swarm is running:
- PiHole x2 - AdBlocking and Local DNS Management
- Wg-easy - for Wireguard VPN Management
- nginx - for reverse proxy servicing
- authentik - for Authentication and SSO
- Duplicati - for cloud backups(pointing at backblaze buckets)
- Guacamole - for RDP services
- Grafana+Prometheus+Node-Exporter+Cadvisor+AlertManager - for aggregation and system monitoring
- Gatus - single pane of glass monitoring of services(might remove it now that I’ve started using Grafana)
- diun - monitoring docker image versions and notification
- Bookstack - Personal Knowledge Base system
- Linkwarden - Collaborative Link Sharing and archiving
- Fasten Health - Local Health Records Storage
- SnipeIT - personal asset management
- Affine - self hosted cloud notebook
- Actual - Budgeting Software
- it-tools - for swiss army knife utilities
- kitchenowl - recipes and grocery lists
- Reactive resume - for resume building with AI empowered editing
- Onetimesecret - for burn after reading secret sharing(using it for distributing credentials to my family)
- Searxng - Local Search Aggregation
- Homarr - Personal Dashboarding
- Home Assistant - Smart Home Management
- N8n - Automating codeless workflows
- Ollama and Open-WebUI - personal Agentic AI
- AudioBookshelf - Audiobook streaming and Management
- OwnCloud - local file sharing and storage
- Plex - Video Streaming
- BitMagnet - DHT network sniffer
- syncthing - for transporting data between local and remote systems
- the *Arrs - for acquiring content
- Docspell - for digitizing and storing important documents
- picsur - for local meme storage
- Calibre+Calibre-web - for Ebook management
- Crafty Controller - for Minecraft Server Management
- RomM - For Emulation and ROM Management.
As I go about my day I’m always looking for new and interesting containers to run, and then scrutinizing if they fill a need, replace an existing service with a better version of the same service, or if it’s better off not implementing, then I pull them down. this has been a great experience in devops learning and the longer I work on the server the more best practices I put in place and the more I understand why corporate clouds have some of the practices they have. I look forward to poking around in this community looking to help and to find new containers to accrete into my platform.
That’s a respectable list of apps. Looks almost like what I run sans the *arr stack. Good work!

I even started hosting the website for my local Italian restaurant and they haven’t even realised it yet.
Wait, what? How are hosting someone else’s website?
OK, here’s how it happened.
I was hungry, and I wanted to see the menu for my local pizza joint. I couldn’t find it anywhere.
I discovered that all their socials linked to a website that wouldn’t load. When I checked, the domain had lapsed.
Out of frustration, I purchased the domain and pulled the last snapshot of their website off archive.org. It had their full menu as a PDF.
6 months later and it’s still getting visitors from their facebook page, who are viewing the menu. They haven’t even realised.
I strive to be this level of…
Whatever this is
😆
I will go first 😌
I selfhost codimd, vaultwarden, kuma, immich, home assistant, trilium, hugo, gotify, wakapi and umami. I have one VPS and one custom built NAS at home.

One of my favourite is Immich, to replace Google Photos: https://immich.app/
I had a small X.25 network as combination coffee-table and space-heater at one point; this was before most homes had internet. It almost cost me a divorce.

Hello, my name is Zingo and I have a selfhosting addition going back to 2016 when I bought my first NAS with docker capabilities.
Community: Hi Zingo! Welcome!
Thank you.
Currently struggling more than even as it starts to take over my life. I have tried over hundreds of services.
I’ll try to find strength to list some at a later stage in this healing process. Sorry no bonus points. Maybe in the next session.
Thank you all for this awesome support. I would be lost without you. 💓
I’m hosting Trillium Note for my personal note taking.
A cobbled together Ryzen 2400g with 16GB of ram. Open Media Vault/Docker: Plex Nextcloud stack with dns refresh/ssl/nginx Sonarr/transmission stack with VPN PiHole Octoprint
Occasionally I run a game server or two when the need comes up, mostly Valheim lately.
I have a used Lenovo Thinkcentre mini with an i3-7100T and 16gb RAM. I have Ubuntu server LTS installed on it and I run everything in docker containers.
I host:
- jellyfin server for my friends and family
- qbittorrent to download for the JF server(behind a VPN)
- Jellyseerr for requests
- Jackett, Sonarr, and Radarr for downloads
- a Minecraft server
Main Server - 37 Containers, 4 VMs
- Media: Plex, Audiobookshelf, along with everything for a complete *arr stack
- Network: Cloudflared, NginxProxyManager, Tailscale, Gluetun (for *arrs)
- Other: Authelia, OpenVSCode, Filebrowser, SFTPGo, Bitcoin Node to support the network
- VMs: Parrot, Windows 11 for local and remote gaming, Windows 3.11 (because why not), currently spun up myNode to see if I want to explore hosting a Bitcoin Ligtning Node
Smarthome Server - OptiPlex 3050
- Containers: mqtt, NodeRed, zigbee2mqtt, homebridge, tailscale, pihole (paired with my phone usually)
- VM: HomeAssistant
Testing Server - OptiPlex 7060
Lately been testing and making stuff using linuxserver/docker-baseimage-kasmvnc.- Arduino-IDE running in a container - with USB hotswap.
- Featherwallet and Electrumwallet (I use a HW-Wallet for HODL).
- Lutris, got it working with Hearthstone, but didn’t really have a use for it.
- Nomachine in kasmvnc, to (somewhat) smoothly access my VMs through the webbrowser when I just need something fast.
Linuxserver Firefox.
XMR Mining Server - Old tired HP SFF
Basicly everything from this guide by seth for privacy; monerod, p2pool, tor, watchtower, and a python-webserver to expose metrics/api.Hello
Let’s have a look at the inventory
-
RPI 4B
- OpenHab (Openhabian actually, so some additional services like Zigbee2MQTT or Grafana)
-
HP EliteDesk 800 G2 i5-6500T, 8GiB RAM - this one is currently the mainstay of my lab, running containers with docker-compose
- Nginx as reverse proxy (+ fail2ban, letsencrypt)

- Jellyfin
- Minecraft server (+ Mapcrafter)
- ddclient
- Heimdall
-
Dell OptiPlex 7060 Micro i7-8700T 32GiB RAM
- I’ve gotten this one fairly recently. A real bargain - costed as much as the CPU alone and was in pristine condition. I will be migrating the workload from EliteDesk to this one. I decided to try ProxMox this time though, so I need to learn a bit first. Also perhaps add a second SSD
